I started the Dark elf army a year ago now (2012) and already they've become the largest army I've ever owned. Numbering in at 361 models, and growing, with a points cost of around 7500

I'm going to make this page a bit of a blog detailing hopefully the background of the force, as well as showing my progress with them.

Heres a breakdown of the list;

Lords

Dreadlord on Albino dragon (black dragon)

Dreadlord

Supreme Sorceress

Heroes

Master with Battle standard

Master

Master

Master

Master

Sorceress

Tullaris Dreadbringer

Kouran Darkhand

Death Hag

Shadowblade

Core

50 Dreadspear Phalanx

50 Dreadspear Phalanx

50 Dreadspear Phalanx

50 Dreadspear Phalanx


12 Darkshard Repeaters

12 Darkshard Repeaters

Special

30 Executioners

30 Executioners

20 Blackguard

10 Cold One Knights

5 Reaper Bolt Throwers

War Hydra

Rare

Kharybdiss


Ontop of this I'm looking at getting 8 units of 10 Bleakswords, with no command, to act as supporting/harrassing units.
Most likely will end up getting a Cauldron of Blood, with a nice horde of witch elves to accompany it into battle.
An army of this size and only 2 casters, may have to get more, or lessen my dependence on magic a little.


Those are the plans anyway, currently I'm battling my way through a hundred spears as well as the Kharybdiss and the repeaters, but Ill post pictures as I go.

I'm trying to find fitting names to all my characters, and Im hoping to build a narrative behind the force, maybe all the Masters are brothers? The 'loyal' sons of the Dreadlord... I'll put some thought into it.

:)

Waiting for the shields to arrive on monday, but Ill probably spray this bunch up without them anyway, means avoiding the awkward angles to undercoat underneath the shields.

So I got the Chaos Warriros out and got them ready for Ebay, but whilst they were all ranked up next to the Dark Elves they looked pretty epic;
